Science was alive and roaring with lessons in our hallways!
Students participated in the interactive simulation “Oh Deer!”, an engaging activity that explores the relationships between organisms and the components of an ecosystem, including food, water, and shelter.
The activity also introduced students to the important concept of carrying capacity, allowing them to see firsthand how environmental factors impact population dynamics.
Huge shoutout to Ms. Douglas, Ms. Jordan, and Ms. Elliott for bringing this exciting learning experience out of the classroom and into the hallway for all to see!
This is what it looks like when Lions lead the way in science!
